Chapter 133: Fierce Siege
The rebels who withstood the output of the official army in the city finally came to the base of the city wall.
This time, the siege equipment they carefully built also began to come in handy one by one.
One by one, ladders with hooks were set up on the city, and the hooks on their heads were firmly hooked to the walls of the city.
In this way, it took a lot of effort on the part of the officers and soldiers in the city to separate the ladder from the city wall.
Under the thick front row of large shields, rows of rebel archers hid behind, and then saw the right time, throwing bows and arrows at the city from time to time, causing a lot of interference to the officers and soldiers defending the city.
At the same time, the heavy ram was also surrounded by a circle of rebel regiments, and quickly advanced over.
"Quick, oil, say hello to the battering ram." Xie Lian saw that the battering ram had retreated, and hurriedly gave an order to focus on it.
The soldiers defending the city also hurriedly spilled as much hot oil as possible in the direction from which the battering ram came.
"Ah" The rebels who were drenched with hot oil were able to scatter the oil on their bodies even with their shields, and they suddenly let out a miserable cry.
But these still could not withstand the frenzied rebel attack.
"Quick, drop the torch where the oil is burning." Xie Lian has been working with this battering ram and has been focusing on this battering ram that poses a huge threat to the city gate.
"Huhu" a flaming torch was thrown down the road.
When the oil star meets the fire, it is only natural that it burns.
The soldiers who had been splashed with fire oil just now were still burned by the oil just now, and now they were even more on fire.
The soldiers who were burned by the fire frantically approached their comrades next to them for help, which also made the rebels under the city chaotic.
The method of defending the city with oil and torches did achieve good results for a while, but it did not completely destroy the battering ram that posed the greatest threat.
Because Kong Youde and they not only made a battering ram in such a long preparation time, but also fully smeared mud on the battering ram. The battering ram was well equipped with fire prevention facilities.
When the fire oil under the city was finally completely burned, the rebels gathered again like flies, pushing the battering rams one by one, ready to hit the city gates.
"One-two-three, one-two-three, one-two-three" came with the sound of a neat trumpet.
The battering ram is also beginning to show its might.
"Bump, bump, bump" The heavy city gate made a muffled sound under the impact of the battering ram.
"Order the young man who is on standby under the city to search for everything that can strengthen the city gate in the city, and quickly use it to strengthen the city gate." Xie Lian gave his order to the soldiers next to him.
The soldiers who were on the side hurriedly bowed their heads and rushed down to the city.
After a while, the young men under the city also searched all kinds of things from the city, including thick tree trunks, heavy stone grinders, and freshly torn down beams.
Under the full mobilization of Zhu Wannian, and after hearing that Kong Youde broke through Dengzhou City, burned and looted, they seemed to be particularly angry, and the people were not only young and strong in the city waiting to go to the city to support the battle at any time, but also donated money with money, donated food with food, and donated materials with things, all of which contributed to their own defense of the city to varying degrees.
The gates of the city were held up by girders and thick tree trunks, and there were strong stone mills on the gaps between the gates and the city walls. As a result, the city gates were constantly reinforced.
At the same time, the first wave of siege on the city, although Zhu Wannian and they made a lot of effort, they still let the rebels attack the city wall for the first time.
One by one, the agile rebels with swords in their hands quickly climbed to the city wall.
After climbing the city wall with great difficulty, he immediately took the big sword in his hand and began to wield it.
One, two, three, more and more ladders began to have siege soldiers attacking the wall.
"Great. This time it was not in vain that I had worked so hard to prepare for so long, but I didn't expect to attack the city wall so quickly this time. "The first time he attacked the city wall, it gave Kong Youde a lot of excitement, and Kong Youde couldn't help but sigh excitedly.
Kong Youde under the city was excited and happy, while Xie Lian and Zhu Wannian in the city frowned.
This group of rebels was originally good at sword combat, and if they couldn't control the situation well on the city wall, maybe they would gradually expand the positions on the city, and more rebels would rush to the city.
"The Swift Bird Men are here to encircle and suppress the rebels in the city." Zhu Wannian saw that the cold weapon could not play with this group of rebels who licked the blood from the knife edge, so he used the hot weapon to fight their cold weapon.
Groups of standby bird-gunners quickly assembled, and surrounded and suppressed the rebels who had formed a scale to attack the city wall.
"Bang, bang, bang" is an unobstructed, close-range shot that doesn't require any accuracy at all, and almost all of them are close to the gun.
At close range, the power of the bird gun is obviously not weak, and one by one, the rebels fell one by one.
As soon as the rebels in an area were defeated, the soldiers defending the city behind them immediately stepped in to take over the defense of the walls.
In this way, the rebels in the city were cleaned up piece by piece, and the living space of the rebels in the city was constantly compressed.
The city wall, which seemed to be a little turbulent just now, gradually became safe under the targeted cleaning of the birds.
It wasn't until the last area was cleared that the siege soldiers, who saw no hope of taking the city wall, finally heard their long-awaited sound of Mingjin retreating.
Like a tidal wave. The besieging soldiers retreated with as many siege engines as possible, leaving only more than a thousand dead soldiers above and below the city.
"It's hateful, just now I clearly felt that I could take Laizhou City in one go, these damn bird-blowers, ruined my big thing." Kong Youde looked at the city wall in the distance and gritted his teeth angrily.
"Kong Shuai, don't be too angry, you also saw it, we attacked the city wall for the first time, and a few more attacks of the same intensity, they will not be able to withstand it sooner or later, and they will collapse." Geng Zhongming, who was on the side, also came to Kong Youde's side unknowingly and told Kong Youde his opinions.
"Well, Zhong Ming, you're right, the artillery team you commanded just now is amazing, dragging all the cannons in the city into dumb, otherwise we brothers don't know how many more cannons we will suffer." When Kong Youde saw Geng Zhongming coming, he also changed his sad face just now and became smiling.
"Hmm. Kong Shuai has won the award, let's have a good rest, and then we will attack non-stop all day long, and I don't believe that we can't grind down this Laizhou City. Geng Zhongming also thanked Kong Youde for his praise, and then said.
"Yes, it depends on which of us is more powerful, if we lay down Laizhou, we will be able to have a lot of territory, even if there is a case, we can return to Dengzhou and negotiate with the imperial court, we are now invincible, no worries, hahahaha." Thinking of this, Kong Youde was full of confidence in his future.
